BTCV Natural Talent Apprenticeships

Natural Talent aims to train the next generation of naturalists through a unique apprenticeship scheme!

Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Natural Talent have 10 apprenticeships to offer until 2010 in different aspects of the natural world.

The apprenticeships will be based either in Scotland or in Northern Ireland, receive a bursary of £12,500 p.a., plus extra money for training and equipment.

This is an amazing opportunity for people with an interest in our natural heritage to pursue a career in the environmental sector and become an expert in specialist ecological and conservation skills.

You don't need any formal qualifications to apply: all we ask is that you show your commitment to your chosen apprenticeship as well as loads of enthusiasm and motivation.
